Beginning after Christmas 2004, Anna and I are making a determined efforts to walk more in our daily routine. The goal is 10,000 steps a day!

Jack Bog just figured it out

Jack, I am surprised you are just now figuring out that Portland is a great walking city. I walk everywhere and I'm a reader of your blog no less. I have to post this here as you're not accepting comments this week.

Walking in Portland is healthy, energetic and safe in my humble opinion.

I found this blog from Jack's blog. I love the Internet. Anyway I told him too, but I moved to Mexico a couple of years ago and when I cam back I decided to be a ped commuter. I haven’t owned a car for close to ten years but I decided to even lock up my bike. It totally changed my life in so many ways. It was amazing. I stopped going to the gym, I was calmer, I started planning better (you need to because getting places takes so long) and I lost a bunch of weight. I got so into it that I quit my job and changed careers to promote really fun ways to stay healthy instead of just going to a gym. It was awesome. Truly. I feel so glad to be living in Portland and able to function without a car!
